ABSTRACT

This chapter presents a research on deception and its detection with research on collaboration. It explains the mechanisms of deception and its detection. The chapter summarizes key findings in deception detection research, and discusses the implications of this research for the design and deployment of collaborative processes and technologies. The chapter explains the theoretical basis for studying deception and its detection. This is followed by a summary of major research findings from the deception literature. Theories of deception and its detection have run the gamut from those that emphasize physiological changes associated with deception to those that emphasize the verbal and nonverbal acts of deceivers and their detectability. The chapter provides three perspectives that have been influential in driving contemporary deception research and that include the leakage hypothesis, the four-factor theory and interpersonal deception theory.
